Message-ID: <20010820131512.D0B0F19A7D@mail.cse.psu.edu> (raw)
The Plan 9 gzip is not the NetBSD gzip.
Sean Dorward wrote libflate and the
Plan 9 gzip from scratch, and it only
handles gzip deflate files, hence the name.
I'm tired of compression programs that
know every other compression format.
They just confuse things.
